Using panel data from 40 firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, theresearch applies Fixed Effects panel regression to examine whether ESG performance, measured by RefinitivESG scores, significantly affects firm profitability as captured by Return on Assets (ROA). Firm size and leverageare included as control variables. The results show a positive and statistically significant association betweenESG scores and ROA, suggesting that Chinese manufacturing firms with stronger sustainability practices tendto achieve higher profitability. The findings are consistent with Stakeholder Theory and the Resource-BasedView of the firm.
